Peer review report 1 on “An updated comparison of high- and low-viscosity cement vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures: A retrospective cohort study”

1. Original submission 1.1. Recommendation Minor Revision.

1 How were the radiologic and clinical follow up? Timing and the manner? 2 Are the outcome scale like VAS and ODI are measured just in admitting patient's time after surgery or those continuous in follow up period? 3 How were the radiologic follow up by mean of this concept? 4 Finally how were the different results between this article and articles like?

1.2. Comments to the author Hi Dear editor of nice journal; International Journal of Surgery. This is my review about article: Manuscript Number: IJS-D-17-00153 Title: An updated comparison of high- and low-viscosity cement vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures: A retrospective cohort study. I like this idea and retrospective article. The writing is simple and charming. although the concept is not very new but the writing and method design is justified it. But there some doubt that authors must explain them.
